A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

What's all this copper in? That's a large motor-worth of copper.
That's a shit ton of gold too. Gold in electronics is used to coat connectors and is only present in trace amounts.
Ssshhh.
Contains like $100 in batteries which have no theft registry and are easily rewrapped at a vape shop. Also often an rpi or other general purpose SBC so $300 isn't far off. Some even have nice separate camera
Do they have GPS locators? They're going to need to be ~~disabled~~ liberated first.
Yowza really makes it
2lbs seems... like a lot for those small things.
Clearly some science is in order.
It's hyperbole in an attempt to weaponize methheads. But yeah, go grab a few and test it, maybe we weaponize meme skeptics too.
"Flock cameras contain over 300USD of precious metals, prove me wrong"
I love it.
We’re gonna need a large sample size, so better test at least a dozen cameras, just to be sure.

Why would you use grams for gold (as you should) but then switch to pounds for copper. Are you a lunatic?
Are you a lunatic?
Yes I am American.
Also the gold likely needs some pretty expensive chemicals to extract.

That's not the Floki I remember :)
My concern is once it comes off the pole. You will no doubt have to take it home to extract. Does it not have a way of being tracked?
I've heard rumors there's an unsecured unmonitored usbC port on almost all of them. Completely unrelated: Did you know you can buy USBC power devices that overload any port they're plugged into and fry whatever device they're connected to? It's true they sell them on Amazon! What a fun rabbit hole to get lost in, sorry I'm rambling with my completely unconnected train of thoughts!
IFixit teardown when?
Personally if I was gonna rip one of these apart I'd just drive into the mountains and rend it down in the back of my truck.
Just wrap it in tin foil. It'll be fine
I'm not ruining a perfectly good hat for some gimmick
